Stack BTC Actually Stacks: Farage's Firm Adds $2.7M Bitcoin to Treasury

Nigel Farage's Stack BTC just went full HODL mode.

The Aquis-listed Bitcoin treasury company, chaired by former UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, purchased 37 BTC worth £2 million ($2.7 million) on Monday. That's roughly $72,385 per coin, bringing their total stash to 68.1898 BTC. For those keeping score at home, that's roughly 0.0013% of Satoshi's estimated holdings — but hey, every satoshi counts when you're building a treasury.

Farage, leader of Reform UK and sitting MP, now holds a 6.31% stake in the company after a previously disclosed $286,000 equity investment. Stack BTC is calling him the first UK political party leader to publicly back Bitcoin — a "landmark moment for British politics," they said. Move over, manifestos. The real policy platform is now the blockchain.

In a video announcing the purchase, Farage pointed out the obvious: you can't really be a Bitcoin treasury company without, you know, holding any Bitcoin. One might call this a fundamental prerequisite, like knowing what a blockchain is before launching a crypto podcast. Revolutionary stuff.

The market liked the move. Stack BTC's share price (STAK) jumped 7.5% on Monday, trading at $14.43 versus $13.43 at Friday's close. Nothing says "we believe in Bitcoin" quite like your stock price going vertical on news you've actually bought some.

This isn't Farage's first crypto rodeo. He picked up his stake back in March alongside Kwarteng. Reform UK has also become the UK's crypto-friendly political party, raking in about $18 million in crypto-linked funding in 2025 alone — outpacing both Labour and the Conservatives. That's more crypto than most exchanges handle in a month. The vibes are immaculate.

The UK government, however, isn't thrilled about political crypto donations. Officials are advancing plans to temporarily ban them entirely, citing risks of opaque or overseas influence. Nothing says "we don't understand this technology" quite like a blanket ban. Very 2017 of them.

Farage and Stack BTC didn't respond to Cointelegraph's requests for comment. Classic radio silence — or as we say in crypto, HODL the communications.
